Keeping visitors away from the birthplace of America for all those days was nothing less than a sin. To see Independence Hall, Congress Hall, the Liberty Bell – and to learn how we came into being – are essential experiences that should not be denied to Americans or international visitors. During the previous government shutdown, I worked as a volunteer at Independence NHP; I’ve seen firsthand how much experiencing these sights mean to visitors and how much denying them this hurts.
Sincerely,
Independence National Historical Park
